Coxswain Clinic this coming Saturday at ODU

Meet Coach Bousquet after school on Tuesday in the gym if you're interested. No experience is needed. You will need a current physical and you need to know how to swim. The school will pay the $10 clinic fee.

 

2024 HRRC erg pull

 Catholic High again was the venue for the Hampton Roads Rowing Club’s erg pull. About 150 participants competed in rowing 2000 m pieces in various events.

Alex Hudson and Hunter Heckman represented CHS in the men's junior U-19 and U-17 events respectively. Both pulled PRs. Alex finished with a 7:43.7 (1:55.9 500m pace) and Hunter with a 8:27.5 (2:06.8 500m pace).

Alex was coxed by Hunter and Hunter was coxed by Sophia.

Additionally, Sophia and Hunter rowed in the 1000m coxswain events. Sophia finished 2nd in the women's coxswain event with a time of 5:08.1 and Hunter finished 3rd in the men's coxswain event with a time of 4:01.5. 

Freshman Emma Cunningham pulled a 9:42.9 in the Women's U-17 event (rowing with Great Bridge.) CHS parents manned the concession booth. At the end of the event Mrs. Pattinson took home a new erg for her use. All-in-all a successful event.

Boathouse orientation for new parents

 Are you wondering where the boathouse is and how long it takes to get there? Come Sunday at 2pm for an orientation of the facility. We'll have a chance to lift some shells, pull on an erg, and generally talk equipment. No, we will not go on the water! We'll see you then,

Google drive directions from school are on the right sidebar and below.
